One of the strongest points that the BlackJack has is it’s easy one handed use. Pulling the phone out of my left pocket, I can have email checked in seconds. Scroll down the new messages and delete or reply with one hand. In the first bit of time with the Epix, the mouse makes that a bit more difficult. While the mouse is quite simple to navigate, it’s not really ideal for how I use my phone. There has to be a way to disable that thing, right? Well, we are in luck.

You can turn the mouse off and enable the pad to operate in 4 way navigation mode. This doesn’t turn the pad into a dpad though. It turns it into a touch pad similar to the one on the Zune. You now slide your finger up/down or left/right to navigate. It’s not the best navigation method for me, but it works better for me than the mouse.
